Elesa+Ganter 113313 Electrical Level Indicator

The Elesa+Ganter 113313 electrical level indicator, also known as HCK.127-SST-M12-NBR-PC-P-E-SW, is a column-type fluid level indicator developed for hydraulic and lubrication systems. It is built for applications that require a clear visual reading of the liquid level and an electrical switching function for machine monitoring.

Technical Characteristics

This HCK.127 version uses a 127 mm centre distance, M12 mounting thread, NBR sealing, a transparent polycarbonate tube, and stainless-steel fastening elements. The SW contact configuration provides a switching function that can be integrated into automated systems, alarm circuits, or control panels. Its 4-pole M12x1 male connector offers a compact and familiar connection standard for industrial environments.

Why It Matters in Hydraulic Systems

Low or unstable fluid levels can lead to overheating, cavitation, pump wear, and unexpected downtime. A level indicator such as the Elesa+Ganter 113313 helps maintenance teams identify level changes early. The visual column supports quick inspection, while the electrical signal can help trigger alerts before the system reaches a critical condition.

Construction and Practical Use

The stainless-steel hardware makes this model suitable for machinery where strength and corrosion resistance are important. The NBR sealing ring is commonly used in oil-related applications, while the polycarbonate transparent tube improves readability. Because the indicator is mounted directly to the tank wall, it provides a straightforward and space-efficient monitoring solution.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Elesa+Ganter 113313 designed to monitor?

It is designed to monitor the level of oil or compatible fluids in hydraulic tanks, lubrication units, and industrial reservoirs.

What does the SW contact do?

The SW version provides a switching output that changes state when the float reaches the defined contact level. This makes it useful for machine monitoring and warning systems.

Can it be connected to automation systems?

Yes. The M12 connector and electrical switching function make it suitable for integration with PLCs, alarm modules, and control panels.

Is visual inspection still possible?

Yes. The transparent column allows operators to check the fluid level directly, even when the electrical output is connected to a monitoring system.
